Description 3.1 Background and justification: The favorable geographical location of Latvia is the basis for rapid development of transit between the East and the West. It is essential that an appropriate customs and sanitary border control infrastructure is in place in order to establish favorable climate for the trade, equal market opportunities and efficient control measures. The task to develop customs and Sanitary border control infrastructure is especially important taking into account the fact that the eastern border of Latvia is going to be the future
2 external border of the European Union. It will carry quite a large portion of the future trade between the EU and the third countries. The well-developed railway network is one of the most frequently used transportation ways of goods. The movement of freights by railways is taking place both to East and West. Railway is mainly used for transportation of transit freights from the countries of CIS to the ports of Latvia, and vice versa. In addition, the width of railway tracks in Latvia complies with that existing in the countries of CIS, therefore, it may be foreseen that the well-developed railway network will be used for freight transportation also in the future. The railroad provides 3% of all exports, 9% of all imports and 36% of transit of all means of transport. The most important points are Daugavpils Commodity station, Rezekne Commodity station both located on the Eastern border and Riga Skirotava customs point. Daugavpils and Rezekne railroad points are the first inland points where the customs, phytosanitary and veterinary control is carried out when goods enter Latvia from Russia and Belarus. Riga railroad point is very important route because this is the central point where all railroads link together and most of the customs clearance takes place. For example in comparison with land customs control points the turnover for the railroad customs points is more than 10 times higher while the number of declarations is nearly the same. Therefore it is very important to have appropriate equipment in order to perform also a physical examination if necessary. The largest seaport in Latvia is Ventspils with the turnover of 34 million tons in Riga seaport with 12 million tons is the second largest seaport in Latvia and one of the largest and the most important seaports in the Baltics. It is a significant route between the East and the West. Riga seaport comprises several parts such as Riga Free port, Riga Passenger port, Vessel repair, Oil terminal, Fishing port and others all covered by a total number of 24 customs points. The number of customs personnel in these points is 112. It is approximately 6.6% of all customs personnel in Latvia. Unlike the Ventspils that is specialised in transport of liquid cargo, mainly oil products (76%), dry cargo (18%) and only few general cargo (6%) Riga seaport is more differentiated and therefore more appropriate for the pre-arrival shipment control system to be introduced. In Riga seaport in year 1999 the rate of general cargo was 65%, dry cargo 22% and liquid cargo 13%. The quantity of cargo received in 1999 reaches 2.8 million tons and quantity consigned 9.2 million tons. The number of vessels served reaches over 4000 per year. The third largest seaport is Liepaja with turnover of 0.9 million tons. At this stage, the existing control premises at these points do not correspond to the European Union requirements for implementing customs, veterinary and phytosanitary control. Due to inappropriate equipment, effective customs, veterinary and phytosanitary control can not be carried out, smuggling rates are high, time of cargo control is long and staff working environment is unsatisfactory. Upon accession, Latvia will be obliged to provide safe and high quality veterinary and phytosanitary border control at the external borders. One of the most important basic conditions in order to be able to implement the above assignment is a set-up of appropriate facilities at border control points for the phytosanitary and veterinary control. The community requirements for approval of border posts are described in Directive 97/78/EC and Decision 92/525/EEC (both: requirements on BIP s for the import and transit of products of animal origin) and Directive 98/22/EEC (requirements on BIP s for carrying out plant health checks). The prime objectives that the veterinary border inspection should meet can be described as follows: - achieve access to all parts of the consignment; - do not alter hygienic or quality standards of the consignment; 3
3 - do not spread possible hazards of the consignments into the environment. According to the Article 6 of Directive 97/78/EEC veterinary border inspection points must be located in the immediate vicinity of the point of entry into one of the territories listed in Annex 1 and in area that is designated by the customs authorities in accordance with Regulation 2913/92/EEC. However, where necessitated by geographical constraints, a border inspection point at a certain distance from the point of introduction may be tolerated and, in the case of rail transport, at the first station stop designated by the component authority, if this inspection post complies with the Community requirements (Annex II of Council Directive 97/78/EEC and Commission Decision 92/525/EEC laying down requirements for the approval of Community border inspection posts responsible for veterinary checks on products introduced from third countries) and has been approved by the Commission. The phytosanitary border control points (according Council Directive 77/93/EEC and Commission Directive 98/22/EEC laying down the minimum conditions for carrying out plant health checks in the Community, at inspection posts other than those at the place of destination, of plants, plant products or other objects coming from third countries) will be located together with veterinary border points which is certainly the most appropriate to reduce construction costs. The planning and implementation of the project will be also based on Commission Decisions 2000/25/EC and 2000/208/EC concerning veterinary legislation covering transshipment and transit, as well as on Commission Decision 2000/571/EC which lays down controls on products of animal origin entering free zones, free warehouses or customs warehouses and on draft of Commission Decision, which lays down the requirements for the approval of border inspection posts responsible for veterinary checks on products introduced into the Community from third countries. According to the acquis at the time of accession only a limited number of border crossings will be recognized for performing veterinary and sanitary inspections. Latvia has assessed the possible border control points on the future EU external border, where it is necessary to furnish veterinary and phytosanitary control facilities for the implementation of highlevel border control. Border control points included in project have been reflected in the DG 1/TAIEX Commission Report of 2000 (Results of assessments conducted in 1998/1999 (Assessment of veterinary border inspection post requirements of Latvia)) that includes precise analysis of what type of goods are to be carried through exact points. Border control points envisaged for upgrading according to the EU requirements were selected taking into the account the flow of consignments subject to control during the previous years, as well as economic, commercial, geographical and political aspects. In 1999 the Ministry of Transportation ordered a study On Sanitary Border Inspection control post set-up in ports of Latvia. Findings of the study showed the optimum layout and locations of control posts on the basis of the current flow of goods that are subject to control and development prospects of ports. In order for the project to be successful good co-operation is very important between involved institutions. The co-operation between the main institutions involved in the control of Latvian border is rather close on a day-to-day co-operation basis. So far there are no problems that could create negative impact on this project between State Revenue Service and Sanitary Border Inspection from one side and institutions of Seaport Board (including Special economical zones) and Latvia Railroad corp. from other side. Latvia Railroad corp. is owned by state. Boards of seaports are formed from local authorities representatives (Riga, Ventspils or Liepaja) as well as from representatives from ministries of Transport, Economics, Finance, Environmental Protection and Regional Development and a representative from Latvian Development Agency. The agreements between Latvian Customs and Sanitary Border Inspection from one side and Railroad and ports authorities from other side have been reached. Ports and Railroad authorities have agreed to provide place for construction of infrastructure and where possible also co-operate in providing buildings with access to electricity, water, roads and other supplies. All infrastructure built and 4
4 equipment purchased in the framework of this project will be owned by State Revenue Service. The land on which the infrastructure will be built is owned by Ministry of Transport. Privatization of land in ports is forbidden by Law of Ports. However, there are deficiencies in the legislation in regard of free ports and special economical zones. To solve legal discrepancies draft legislation package is submitted to the Latvian Parliament on the 1 st of July 2000 (this was the obligation of Republic of Latvia for the International Monetary Fund). It includes draft amendments to 4 laws on special economic zones and free ports (Law on Riga free port, Law on Ventspils free port, Law on Liepaja special economic zone and Law on Rezekne special economic zone). It also includes draft law on application of taxes in free ports and special economic zones. In accordance with the mentioned draft laws customs clearance in the free zones will be regulated by the norms of the Customs law (the articles on the customs clearance will be taken out from the laws on special economic zones and free ports). On the 21 st of December 1999 a Protocol on amendments to the Agreement between the State Border Guards and National Customs Board was signed that approves new Standard technological scheme for all road border-crossing points. The Standard technological scheme is signed by the Head of the Border Guards, the Head of the Sanitary Border Inspection and Director of the National Customs Board. The scheme describes responsibilities and activities of all 3 border control institutions at the border control points, and organization of work at the border control points. In accordance with the Standard scheme the technological schemes are being prepared for all road border-crossing points. The co-operation between Customs and Sanitary Border Inspection takes place on the basis of Memorandum of mutual co-operation concluded between the Ministry of Agriculture and State Revenue Service on the 5 th of August This Memorandum states that State Revenue Service and Ministry of Agriculture shall co-operate to prevent infringements of customs regulations, particularly in the fields of foodstuffs and drug smuggling in Latvia. Both institutions shall cooperate in development and enforcement of united co-operation strategy in order to ensure a public health protection within its limits and resources. The proper enforcement of the Memorandum is ensured with signing and implementation of the technologies (technological schemes) for the border crossing points, including special technologies for railroad border control points (see Annex 12). Such documents processing technologies exist for both Rezekne and Daugavpils railroad control points. In Riga railroad control point Skirotava mutual co-operation between services involved takes place on the same principles and grounds as in Rezekne and Daugavpils. Customs and Sanitary Border Inspection will work together already within Phare 2000 project Integrated Border Management Strategy. For effective work of customs it is necessary that the staff is correctly trained and that the level of education is sufficiently high. The level of education is set as very important issue for personnel. The level of education in the SRS increases. In regions at present 32% have higher, 37% - secondary professional and 30% - secondary education. 18% are currently studying in universities and colleges. In central administration 66% of employees have higher education, 16% - secondary professional and 16% - secondary education. 10% are currently studying. The quality and infrastructure of the training is being increased. There is a central Training centre in the SRS and in two largest regional offices (Daugavpils and Jelgava). There has been decrease in turnover of the personnel in Customs service from 58% in 1994 to 5,3% in The SRS Training Division performs the training function both for customs and tax purposes. Customs officers receive 6 weeks training course before they start work. Other training is provided when necessary. The Institute of International Economical Relations and Customs is operational under Riga Technical University that gives higher education. At the same university there is Customs College where it is possible to obtain secondary professional education. 5
5 Development of the efficient customs border control points is a priority defined also in State Revenue Service (SRS) Investment Strategy, which was approved and signed by the SRS Director General. The SRS Investment Strategy indicates the key objectives and tasks for efficient performance of the customs and tax administration and protection of the public interests. The following statement is one of the priorities of the SRS Investment Strategy: To fight against unfair competition, smuggling, illegal trade. In order to ensure the implementation of the Rules of the Cabinet of Ministers of No. 246 Rules on the Establishing the State Border Crossing Points, Border-lines and on the Location of the Border Control Points on the State Border of the Republic of Latvia and effective customs control, it is necessary to build new Customs Control Posts and to modernise the existing ones by equipping them with the scales, video-monitoring system and cargo control complex and equipment. Moreover improvement of the customs control infrastructure is outlined in SRS Customs Long-term Investment Plan ( ), which is overall strategic plan regarding the upgrading of border crossing points. All actions foreseen by this project are included in Long-term Investment Plan and are fully coherent with it. Up to now high attention has been paid towards the improvement of the customs control infrastructure on the road customs points of the Eastern Border. All road customs control points on the Eastern border (Terehova, Paternieki, Grebneva, Silene) have been constructed with financial support of Phare and Public Investment Programme. However the development of Customs and Sanitary Border Inspection infrastructure on railroads and in seaports is very important as there is a quite heavy trade flow through these routes therefore development of these points is the next step envisaged in Public Investment Programme. Both institutions Customs and Sanitary Border Inspection are involved in the project in order to decrease the necessary funds for the development of Customs and Sanitary Border Inspection points. The costs of feasibility studies, project and implementation and building will be lower as the infrastructure will be partially common for both institutions. The State Revenue Service is Responsible for the construction of Customs and Sanitary Border Inspection Control points; In seaports the construction is co-ordinated by the Board of the specific port and on railroad the Latvia railways corp. The implementation of this project will be the continuation of the Phare 2000 project "Development of integrated Latvian border management and infrastructure". Project includes improvement of the border control mechanisms by definition of responsibilities for each of involved institutions including the control on the railway, in the see ports and airports and preparation of the common action plan about the control mechanism on the railway, in the see ports and airports. This action plan will be used as a basis for development of technological schemes and organization of the work in border control points. 3.2 Linked activities: The implementation of this project will be the continuation of the Phare 2000 project "Development of integrated Latvian border management and infrastructure". To strengthen the Latvian border control the following Phare projects are in the preparation and implementation stage: In the framework of LE Agriculture : Pilot project to create a border inspection system (phytosanitary) inline with EU standards - 0,031 MEURO; - completed 6

Component 2 Improvement of Customs and Sanitary Border Inspection infrastructure in seaports The findings of the study "On Sanitary Border Inspection control post setup in ports of Latvia contain a proposal to build the central control points at Riga Trade Port and Ventspils Freeport with several control points at each of them. This project component consists of three sub-components: Sub-component 2.1 Improvement of customs and Sanitary Border Inspection infrastructure in Riga seaport During the recent years, the turnover and variety of freights subjected to veterinary, phytosanitary; harmlessness and safety control is steadily increasing. Therefore, in order to enable efficient and quality servicing of the freights subjected to these controls, 2 border control points and one control site have been established at the Port of Riga: 1. Central Control Point of Riga Port with three control locations: Riga Krasta (Riga Bank Station) Riga Passenger Terminal Trade Port of Riga 2. Fishing Port of Riga ; 3. Control site Port of Daugavgriva. Central Control Point of Riga Port Central Control Point of Riga Port, three control sites are operating: Riga Krasta (Riga Bank Station) Riga Passenger Terminal Trade Port of Riga 11
11 Control site Riga Krasta control of freights received in the part of Riga Trade Port located beside to Cold storage and grain elevator. In this part of the port, the unloading of bulk cargo vessels and refrigerator vessels is taking place. Riga Passenger Terminal control of freights received from Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. All ferry lines are from member states of EU. Trade Port of Riga located next to the gate of free port territory at Uriekstes street; control of freights transported in containers. Office premises have been equipped for maintenance of control point; nevertheless, there are no storage premises, refrigerator sections, and physical control equipment available. The forecast is, that such distribution of freights that are subjected to control will prevail also in the future. Therefore the location of Central Control Point of Riga Port is planned here, from where the control at other sites and other port areas of all groups of goods subjected to control and to be transported by trucks or in containers may be coordinated. Fishing Port of Riga Fishing Port of Riga services freights transported by refrigerator vessels, as well as general freights. The freights are being loaded from vessels to other means of transport, or stored in refrigerators for short terms.80% of freights subjected to control are provided for third countries. Port of Daugavgriva Freight turnover in this port is unessential. Basically, freights are forwarded for export. As to the current state, it is not necessary to maintain dedicated premises for carrying out of special controls. Taking regard at current flow of freights subject to the control of Sanitary Border Inspection at Riga port, as well as the development prospects and plans of Riga port, it is necessary to establish the following control points and control sites at Riga port: 1. Central Control Point in the territory of Riga Trade Port; 2. Control sites: Beside Cold storage in the territory of Riga Trade Port; Fishing Port of Riga; This project component foresees building of necessary facilities to carry out veterinary and phytosanitary control with EU requirements in the Riga port. In case of implementation of the project, the construction and equipment of Central Control Point in accordance with the requirements of EC in the territory of Riga Trade Port is provided. It is envisaged to be upgraded control point to fit the following control: 1. control of products of animals origin, all sorts; 2. control of products subjected to phytosanitary control; In order for Riga seaport customs, veterinary and phytosanitary control point to become aligned with the EU requirements for carrying out customs control there is a need for: Cargo control infrastructure (more details in Annex 5): cargo control hangar; control area for veterinary and phytosanitary control; lifts; platform scales; X-ray equipment for containers. Equipment necessary for the control will be provided from the state budget. 12
